About Amanda
Amanda Kwesiga offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed. She meets clients with warmth and no judgement. Amanda aims to build an honest working relationship and helps people move towards their personal goals.
Amanda is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She describes her practice as relational and person-centred, which means she focuses on the therapeutic connection and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels right for the individual, with regular check-ins to make sure the work remains helpful. She has three years' experience and has worked with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns. Amanda has supported people affected by trauma, including experiences of domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control.
She also helps people facing grief, parenting pressures, relationship strain and life changes. Her practice pays attention to issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, shame and feelings of emptiness. She is interested in multicultural concerns, questions of life purpose and losses that are often overlooked by others.
Amanda may draw on other helpful techniques alongside a person-centred stance when it suits the client. Amanda aims to create a steady, supportive space where someone can be heard and work through upsetting or confusing experiences. She invites people to explore their concerns together and to set goals that feel meaningful.
The emphasis is on listening, collaboration and pacing the work to each person's needs.

Approaches Amanda lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also works relationally, paying attention to how the connection between client and counsellor shapes progress. That style is often useful for issues like attachment concerns, shame, grief and the effects of trauma because it emphasises understanding and connection rather than directive advice.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Amanda will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful, and she will review the approach regularly to make sure it still fits the client's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. Many people find these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
